Kit's Pecan Pie

Southern belle Kit Pannill and her daughter, Talbott Maxey, move in similar social circles and therefore often entertain together. One of their most renowned and coveted parties is a Southern buffet, organized for every occasion from baby showers to visiting dignitaries. The buffet features Kit’s favorite home-cooked dishes, including cheese grits, tomato pudding, shrimp salad and classic pecan pie.
